It is not feasible to keep on increasing the size of disk space.

    We are assuming that the concern is the backups that are taken to enable a rollback of a fixpack. If so then it is possible to manage these and we have a support doc that covers the steps to manage this using IBM Installation Manager. Would you be able to take a look and let us know if this addresses the problem?
